Does anyone build static/rc model airplanes?
Love to see some pics!

I don't but a lot of my friends do.

CAMS RC Forum

I dabble in R/C planes and helicopters. All of mine were purchased "ready-to-fly", but I have built custom planes out of the parts from cheap airplanes. Unfortunately none of my custom planes are airworthy right now, in fact most are in pieces atm.

I dabble with RC but am very much into static models. Cars, mainly 1/8, armour 1/16 and aircraft that take my fancy. At the moment I am building

Roger (HawkerTempest) has an air force at home! No kiddin'!!!
Ken (Rifleman) is into the R/C trip quite a lot.
Me, I've just got a LOT of Spitfires

I've built a bunch of static models including a 18 1/2" long, 1:72 SR-71.
I'm working on a F/A-18E Hornet now, and after that a PBY-5A Black Cat.

You haven't done an F-22 yet?

Sadly, no.

1/72: PBY Catalina, B-25 Mitchell and Lockheed Neptune (Pride & Joy). Although my first (practice) model was on a 1/48 RAAF F-111.

Future projects hopefully include 1/72 Grumman Tracker and Douglas A-26 Invader. 8-)

Mitch, is that the Hasegawa 72nd Neptune? I have one of those in my stash, but it's an experimental Japanese version. Will have to get RAAF decals for it.

I have quite a few aircraft in my stash in the moment. But, being totally bogged down by school work, it looks like they won't get built for another five years, and by that time, they'll have moved from Australia to the UK. Might need an Antonov to move them all, though!

These are all the notable kits in my stash:

- 1/144 Revell E-4B
- 1/144 Revell British Airways 747-400 (Landor)
- 1/144 Revell An-124
- 1/144 Airfix VC-10
- 1/48 Revell F-15E
- 1/32 Revell Mirage III

I plan on buying seven more of those Revell Antonovs...so that I can build examples of Volga Dnepr, VVS and Aeroflot birds with wheels up/down and nose and tail doors open/closed.
